Reaching goals: One journal at a time

The final major test of pursuing my MS EnE degree is my thesis. With all its meticulous conceptualization, laborious experiments, brain-racking paper writing and terrifying defense, who would say that they are tremendously excited for it? Definitely not me. Yet, I have no choice but to go through these steps if I want to graduate (well, I do!).

First and foremost, I need to find a topic for my thesis. I find this the most difficult part. It's like writing an essay where the appropriate first words always seem to elude us. However, after we've started writing, the next words just flow from us with less effort.

I plan to have nanotechnology as my research topic. What about it, I'm still not sure. I have yet to read loads of journal articles on related researches to better define mine. Just thinking about it already tires me. But, as they say, "No pain, no gain." And, if I want to achieve great things, I need to put extra effort on it. Gotta start now!
